Lor', kat - I'm trying to work up the nerve to contact him at all - it's been an awful lot of years, at least thirty and some.

Still! After the weekend when my family goes home, I may give it a try.

It's a strange piece of music, I warn you!

Great parody, Alice!(How can I Keep From Purring?)

   Another possible:"Howling at the Moon", or is that "dogging the cats?

HOW CAN I KEEP FROM PURRING (it's in the DT)
(Betsy Wellings)

My life proceeds in endless need for human veneration.
I hear the sweet words, "Kitty, Dear," the constant adoration.
No dry cat food will quell my urge to hear that gentle whirring,
The electric can opener.
How can I keep from purring?

What, though the doggie near me sleeps--that foul abomination!;
Though he may snort and grunt and wheeze, I know no trepidation,
For there between us lies the one who holds me without stirring,
My humble servant, my human--
How can I keep from purring?

While others dream within their beds, I'm to the curtains clinging,
For I have torn the couch to shreds, my claws to sharpness bringing.
And, though I hang here in mid-air with dogs below me snoring,
My human soon will rescue me--
How can I keep from purring?

Humans are here to serve our needs, so every cat supposes,
And when we're pampered, loved, and fed, it's just what the world owes us!
But deep within my inmost heart, beneath my flesh and furring,
I know I am one lucky cat!-
How can I keep from purring?


New verse by Sonja W. Oates 2001:

Though I've used seven of my lives, my feline bones are ag-ed,
The little kitten in me thrives it simply won't be cag-ed,
So I'll still pounce with zest and glee on mousies when they're stirring
The world was made for cats like me--
How can I keep from purring?!

Hee! Very cute, and led to all sorts of other cuteness.

Also led me to wonder about an old housemate, John S. Gray, I've not seen or heard from since the 1970s, so I looked him up.

Unfortunately, I don't think it can be accessed online for listening, but if you look down at the discography, among the electroacoustic music, you'll see a piece titled Belinda's O. I have this on a cassette somewhere in the house. Part of the piece is a highly manipulated recording of my cat, Belinda, vocalizing before, during, and immediately after having... er... relations with my other cat, Bluepetal. (I took care of the regrettable un-neutered situation soon after).

So, one of my earliest contributions to the Candian music scene. ;-)
